When my Daytona was bone stock, the worst I did was 100 km before the light went on on the highway at quite unreasonable speeds with disastrous aerodynamics due to LOTS of luggage (tank + saddle bags, sports bag on the rear seat and backpack).

Did around 65 km (bone stock again) after the light went on with better aerodynamics at a very sedate pace.

Most of the time, the light goes on between 180 and 210 km. The old TOR tune my dealer loaded seemed to only make the bike less responsive and more hungry, so I got the new TOR tune and it seems a lot better.

The slower you move, the more dangerous your bike is... I'll let you work out the conclusion from there

I usually get between 170 and 190 k's before the light comes on when im purely commuting. Not that I ride aggressive, but I tend to keep the bike in a lower gear sometimes to aid in emergency stopping if necessary and simply because the bike sounds louder!

With a full tank, I usually go about 110 miles before the light comes on. I commute in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, with plenty of lights and stop signs. I average around 35 mpg no matter how I ride. I usually ride the crap out of my ST...

Someone said that the triumph map runs rich in the lower RPM range, so does that mean if you want to save some gas you should stick to 4-6k rpm instead of short shifting at 4k?

what riding technique should we use when the light comes on and there are no gas stations to be found.

You could probably set the computer to show current fuel economy when riding it and check?
The acceleration isn't very good when you need it below 4k unless the street is tuned a lot differently than the Daytona.

When commuting I generally sit 4-6k when cruising or general shifting in normal traffic.
